Tips:

  • Use waxy potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as red potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes, hold their shape better than starchy potatoes, making them ideal for potato salad.
  • Boil the potatoes until just tender: Overcooked potatoes will become mushy and fall apart in the salad.
  • Cool the potatoes completely before assembling the salad: This will help to prevent the salad from becoming watery.
  • Use a light touch when mixing the salad: Overmixing will cause the potatoes to break down and become mushy.
  • Chill the salad for at least an hour before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the salad to become more firm.
  • Garnish the salad with fresh herbs, such as chives, parsley, or dill, before serving: This will add a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

Ham and cheese potato salad is a classic summer side dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its creamy dressing, tender potatoes, and flavorful ham and cheese, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next potluck or picnic. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy potato salad recipe, give this one a try! You won't be disappointed.
